Lipstick Powder N Paint

On May 29th I was lucky enough to be invited to Sephora at Eaton Centre for a 5-Minute Face makeover. The makeovers taking place were part of a larger event…Camindy was in the store doing a book signing! (that story will come later)

Cecilia was the artist that worked on my face. She was fun and charming and made me look fabulous in no time at all!

First Some Kind-a Gorgeous was used all over my face to give me an even complexion. I have this product and it really makes your skin feel so silky and is great for a slightly uneven skin tone.

Next Cecilia worked on my eyes to brighten them up and remove any signs of under eye shadow. Eye bright was dotted and blended on the outer and inner portion of each eye and then Ooh La Lift was gently patted under my eyes. I could definitely see an improvement. The Ooh La Lift felt nice and cool and Cecilia suggested putting it in the fridge before using for an extra soothing effect.

Benefit’s fantastic Creaseless Cream shadow in Flatter Me was used to shade my lid and as a liner, then Alabaster pink from the Big Beautiful Eyes kit was used as a highlighter and Cocoa shimmer from the same kit was used to contour.

I was already wearing BADgal mascara so that stayed put!

The famous High Beam was smoothed onto my cheekbones for that immediate radiant glow. Dandelion was lightly applied to my cheeks to give me a natural rosy glow and then a little applied to my chin and forehead – very subtle and natural.

To finish off my look Her Glossiness in Who Are You Wearing? was applied to my lips for the perfect pout.

A huge thank you to Cecilia for making me look so lovely. I walked around the mall with my head up high!
